I'm all for putting solar panels all over the place, but won't these get dusty and oily and need loads of cleaning after trains pass over?

Also, costing €623,000 over three years sounds rather expensive for just 100m (although that roughly equates to 11KW).

The 600000 € probably include the development cost. Thus, on a larger scale, the cost per unit length will decrease significantly.

True, but it still seems rather excessive....

That's like 1/7th of the cost of a single passenger car. I'm sure they can easily afford to take that hit if it doesn't end up panning out.
